Heroes

Stella & Becky

Born for the mountain life.

Stella, a young Great Pyrenees not even two years old, enjoyed a life of contentment on a sprawling 35-acre mountain property. Surrounded by a loving family, her days were filled with simple joys and unwavering affection. However, this idyllic existence was shattered when tragedy struck unexpectedly. Becky, Stella's beloved human companion, received a devastating diagnosis: terminal brain cancer. The news sent shockwaves through the family, and Becky was swiftly airlifted to a distant hospital several hours away.

Life as they knew it changed drastically. The family was consumed by worry and grief, their focus shifting to Becky's care and the uncertain future. Amidst this turmoil, another unexpected development arose: Stella was pregnant. The situation seemed overwhelming, but a glimmer of hope emerged when Dr-V stepped in to offer their assistance and resources.

With Dr-V's support, Stella received the care she needed, and on July 11th, 2024, she gave birth to eight healthy puppies. The arrival of the puppies brought a sense of joy and renewal amidst the ongoing heartache.

Becky's battle with cancer continued, but her spirit remained unbroken. Despite the physical and emotional toll of her illness, she faced each day with strength, joy, and unwavering faith. Her creativity, radiant smile, kind heart, and adventurous spirit shone through, inspiring those around her. Sadly, in January 2025, Becky passed away. Her loss was deeply felt by all who knew her.

Becky's legacy, however, lives on. Her memory is carried forward by Stella and her puppies, a living testament to the love and joy she brought into the world. Furthermore, Becky's courageous spirit and unwavering optimism will be immortalized in the upcoming Dr-V comic book, "Dr-V: A Last Stand For New Life." In this comic, set to be released in the summer of 2025, Becky is portrayed as a heroine, a symbol of hope and resilience in the face of adversity. Through this poignant tribute, Becky's story will continue to inspire and uplift readers for years to come.

Where are they now?

Stella

Sweet Stella is now a permanent family member for the Off-Grid Veterinarian and his family, along with her pup, Ali. Stella absolutely loves the snow and prefers to be outside, faithfully patrolling the property or basking in the sun. She and Ali spend much of the day wrestling and have a favorite toy that they play tug of war with. Over the past few months, Stella has reached a healthy weight and has developed her thick winter coat. She now looks like a true Great Pyrenees!

Ali

Ali, now also a permanent Off-Grid Veterinarian family member, is so happy to be with her momma. She is also very attached to her human family members and shows them constant affection with kisses, snuggles, and smiles. She is hoping to become a therapy dog soon because she loves people so much and brings them so much joy!

Kai

Kai now has two human siblings and two canine siblings. He has an especially close bond with his pre-school aged human brother and really likes to nibble the ankles of his older teenage human brother! He is still silly and independent and keeps his family entertained with his goofy antics. Nearly every day he is spoiled with a trip to a local dog park where he gets to run and explore to his heart's content.

Napoleon,

Frankie,

& Brulee

Living it up on an acre in the Rocky Mountains, Napoleon, Brulee, and Frankie spend their days as an affectionate sibling pack. They also enjoy their two smaller canine siblings and absolutely adore their human momma, who spoils them with a special raw meat diet and plenty of love.

Flint

Flint has brought so much laughter and happiness to a close-knit family of three. His gentle and intuitive nature made him a perfect fit for his current home, where he gets to live his life as a therapy dog for his human sisters with special needs and his human momma.

Steel

Steel now gets to enjoy life with a Great Dane mix brother and human nephews. Steel is progressing well with his puppy training and can now sit and shake on command. He is a civilized pup that has even gotten to attend some college football games! When out in the yard, he likes to build a friendship with his elderly human neighbor and dig up plants!

Gray

Gray was very happy to end up in a home with two other canine siblings (both of which are Great Pyrenees mixes!). She gets to run around her large, fenced yard, and with her human parents working from home, she gets plenty of attention!
